NFL fantasy news

Washington Redskins impending free-agent TE Niles Paul figures to draw interest from the Atlanta Falcons once the free agency period begins. Paul is familiar with offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan’s scheme and TE Levine Toilolo hasn’t exactly proven himself to be the answer at the position.

Tip: Paul performed swimmingly when Jordan Reed was injured last season and proved to have TE1 potential when he's given the opportunity to start. Nothing is set in stone yet, of course, so keep an eye on Paul and the Falcons once free agency commences.

Miami Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill said he cleared the air with WR Mike Wallace, and the two have no problem. Tannehill said he wants Wallace to return, and the team will consider Tannehill’s input when they make their decision on Wallace.

Tip: Wallace is being difficult with Miami, as he's said he won't restructure his current contract. The Dolphins could save quite a bit of cash if they decide to cut Wallace outright. It may be in Miami's best interests to retain Wallace, however, if at least for the sake of Tannehill's future after they already cut Brandon Gibson and Brian Hartline. Wallace had a disappointing 2014 season, but he still managed 67 catches for 862 yards and 10 touchdowns. A move away from Miami probably wouldn't hurt his fantasy value. Stay tuned.

Dallas Cowboys impending free-agent RB DeMarco Murray would likely re-sign with the Cowboys if the offer they make him is equal or similar financially to offers he receives from other teams in free agency, according to league sources. Murray is expecting to have a ‘vigorous’ free-agent market for his services. He made $1.4 million last year, which ranked 23rd among running backs, and he led the league with 1,845 rushing yards on 392 carries in 2014.

Tip: Murray had an excellent 2014 season for his fantasy owners. Dallas had one of the top offensive lines in the league to help pave running lanes for him, too, so we can see why he'd favor remaining in Dallas. Regardless of where Murray lands this year, he's likely to remain an RB1 worth drafting in the first round, despite injury concerns.

Florida State University QB Jameis Winston is visiting with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tuesday, March 3.

Tip: If Winston is drafted by the Buccaneers with the top pick, he is still a risky QB option in 2015. He should be considered a No. 2 QB option in 2015 if he wins the starting job for whoever drafts him.

Denver Broncos WR Demaryius Thomas has the non-exclusive franchise tag, which means Thomas can have talks with other teams but those teams must supply two draft picks to the Broncos if Thomas signs with another club.

Tip: Thomas is still worth every penny of the $12.823 million salary he would get in 2015 and is a solid WR1 option.
